The statement is true.

Explanation:

Social determinants are the structural conditions under which people are born, grow, develop, work, live, and even die. Poverty and wealth are examples of social determinants because they affect every aspect of a person's life.

Immigration in itself is a social determinant because the condition of immigrant also affects each person's life in every possible way. From being more likely to be poor, to being more likely to be discriminated against, to being more likely to have dependent family in the country of origin, immigration can be used as a gauge to determine a person's social standing and material conditions.
